Three Kingdoms: Ancestors of the Han Dynasty

Chapter 589 February
In February, the Northland is a vassal state.

As the new wind blows, the vegetation on the grassland moves with it.A rabbit sprang out of a cave on the hill, stayed for a while, stared quietly at the felt tent of the Xianbei tribe under the hill, and suddenly kicked its hind feet and walked away.

Outside the felt tent, Du Ni was handling a gazelle by the stream, and a few children beside him kept their halazi, staring at the gazelle ready to move.

Du Ni is a well-known warrior in the Beishan tribe, and he hunted this gazelle.The Baiqichang wanted to go, but it was difficult to catch yellow sheep when they returned north to the grasslands outside the Great Wall in spring.However, Du Ni refused without hesitation. This is his prey, and no one can deprive him of the guarantee of "Northern Law".

The "Northern Law" was written by Shan Yuming, and it was specially formulated according to the customs on the grassland. It is said that it is only a few thousand words, and the implementation of the law is guaranteed by the superior Qianqichang.I just heard it when Ji An answered the popular science "North Law", but I wrote it down.

Du Ni removed the meat from the yellow sheepskin, handed it to his eldest son Tuozhen, and said, "Wash the yellow sheepskin and bring it to your mother. The Han people will come to collect it in a few days, and it can be exchanged for a lot of food."

"it is good!"

Gazelle skins can be processed by the Han people to be used as bedding or outer robes to avoid the cold.Therefore, the Han people in Guanzhong often come to collect them, and the price is good, and they even exchange grains.

He once fought with Shanyu to the east and passed through Guanzhong, where there is a dazzlingly magnificent city with a population of 10,000+ living around it.The Han people call it "Chang'an", and I heard that Chang'an means "long-term peace and stability" according to Qianqi Chang.

In the past, businessmen from Chang'an were very cunning, they gave little money, or exchanged it with cheap things.However, as the emperor of the Han Dynasty became Shan Yu in the past few years, the merchants in Chang'an became more peaceful, and some officials even bought horses in large quantities with salt and grain, which made their lives much easier.

Generally speaking, their lives are much easier with Shan Yu, which makes Du Ni like this Shan Yu very much.As for fighting with Shanyu, Duni liked it more.Unlike fighting with the leader, you need to prepare your own food and grass.The Han Shanyu was very generous. He provided rice and grain along the way instead of paying for it himself.

Tuozhen held the yellow sheepskin, pointed at the yellow sheep's tail, and asked, "Aye, aren't the tails for sale?"

"Not for sale, Ji An promises."

The tail hair of Gazelle can be used as a writing brush. The quality is very good and the price is not low.But he promised Ji An that he would give him a yellow sheep's tail as a brush.

"Jibidezhen (the clerk) is coming? That's great!" Tuozhen asked excitedly.

Tuozhen and several children were very excited and told the news to other people in the tribe.

Ji Bidezhen in the population is Ji Xi.With the needs of the Han Dynasty to further govern the Xianbei, Xiongnu and other ministries, senior generals and grassroots non-commissioned officers who are proficient in Hu affairs were sent to the country and the road to assist the Marquis of Gudu and the Chief Qianqi in handling political affairs.

Ji Xi lived in Longxi, took a Qiang girl as his wife, and knew about Qiang affairs very well.As for Hu Shi, I barely know a little bit. As for the Xianbei language, I have learned superficially from the Xianbei scouts of the same song.

In addition, he has fought in the war for more than ten years, and he also knows some words with the army. Thinking that he is getting old, he hopes to live a stable life for a few years, and leave some money for his children, so he bit the bullet and served as a car cover road Qianqi The long subordinate officer Bidzhen.

Qianqichang is responsible for handling the administrative, judicial, military, trade and appointment and removal of officials in the Dao.Because Qianqichang is mostly vulgar and can't handle affairs clearly, he also wants to strengthen the control of Hu's department.The great Han dispatched officials such as Qi Wanzhen (translator), Bi Dezhen (scriber), and Wu Aizhen (business official) to Chief Qianqi to assist them in governing.Among them, Bidezhen official (book official) is the highest, equivalent to the county's master book, responsible for administration and justice.

Although some Qianqi chiefs did not welcome the arrival of their subordinates, getting along with these Han and Qiang people who knew about the nonsense did bring benefits to the tribes, and the relationship gradually became harmonious.

Ji Xi trained intensively in Longyou for a month before being transferred to the car cover department.After a few months of adaptation, with his excellent archery skills and his own bravery, he got along well with the Xianbei warriors, and even made peace with Du Ni.

"Here we come, Ji Bide is really here." The children cheered.

Ji Xi rode on a horse, led dozens of riders, and brought several carriages to the tribe.Along with the car came Taoist priests, formerly known as Wudou Rice Sect, now known as Taoism, and they were extremely popular.Sick children, adults, and the elderly flocked up, and the two Taoist priests found a place to feel the pulse and ask the doctor for the sick.

A small peddler in Beidi County greeted the surrounding women and children, and sold the daily necessities in his hands.All of a sudden, voices in the Beishan Tribe erupted one after another, and the tribe with hundreds of people suddenly became very lively.

At this time, Ji Xi was hugging Du Ni, laughing and asking each other if they were healthy.

Beside the bonfire, Ji Xi was drinking kumiss and having a serious conversation with Du Ni and Baiqi Chang Beishan Tuogu.

"Shanyu wants to fight against Wei in March and April, and orders all countries and provinces to send troops. Qianqichang ordered us to send fifty cavalry from Beishan to fight with the army." Ji Xi said, sipping koumiss.

After Jixi served as Bidezhen, according to the Beitai edict and the Beidi vassal state (state) decree, all the population of the Chegai tribe (road) was sorted out. The number of remaining accounts is based on the regulations in the "Northern Law" that the second account should send out regular soldiers, so it is necessary to dispatch fifty cavalry to join the army.

Beishan Tuogu held up his wine bag, saluted Jixi, and said, "Bidezhen, according to the estimates of the soldiers from the second account, the scale of this battle should be quite large, at least more people than when we fought against Wei last spring."

Ji Xi was a little drunk, and said disapprovingly: "Almost, there should be more."

Du Ni took a breath, there were more people than last year, wouldn't it be 10,000+ people, that's too many!

Ji Xi grabbed a piece of yellow mutton, put it into his mouth, and said: "The chief of the hundred cavalry will get the tribe brothers ready as soon as possible, and bring their own bows and horses. We will gather under the tent of the chief of the thousand cavalry in three days, and we will go to Guanzhong together. Don't delay."

Beishan Tuogu ate his mouth full of oil, and said: "Don't worry, I know it in my heart, I should know it. I just don't know, when will my parents and sons go to Chengdu?"

In order to ensure the interests of Hu people at all levels, the big Hans ensure that they will inherit their posts from generation to generation, but they need to study in Chengdu.

The first batch of children of tribal nobles have entered Chengdu to study. In the first year, the lecturers and doctors in Chengdu focused on teaching ideas such as the integration of Han and Hu, and changing barbarians with Xia.Tell them that both Chinese and Hu are descendants of Yan and Huang. The difference lies in civilization rather than birth. It is just that the thinking of the Han people is more orthodox and advanced than that of the Hu people. There is no difference.

All in all, the big Han mainly hopes that after these noble children from the tribe become the backbone, the Hu people near Guanzhong, Longyou, and Liangzhou will gradually become Sinicized, or become history.After all, a butcher's knife cannot achieve this effect. On the contrary, it will only lead to more and more violent resistance.

Guaranteeing the stability of the Hu people's survival and the transition channel of the social class can achieve all these things quietly.It won't happen that one day after the big Han dominates the world, they will come out with a bald tree function or something, and directly tell the barbarians in Northwest China that the Han people bullied us, and now everyone is against him!

After all, the current world is generally sparsely populated, and the per capita resources are abundant. It cannot be said to be rich if it is stable, but it is still possible to live a healthy life with a full stomach.

"After the Spring Moon Conference, let's go to Chengdu together." Ji Xi glanced at Du Ni and said, "Those who have military merits can go to Chengdu."

"Okay! Answer Xie An" Du Ni withdrew her envious eyes and said in a vibrating voice.

Beishan Tuogu wiped his oily hands on his body, and asked obsequiously: "Bidezhen, if the people in the tribe want to learn how to farm, if they don't know the country and the way, can they send officials to teach them?"

Beishan, which is close to Beidi County, has witnessed the prosperity of the Han people, and many people in the tribe are envious.As the leader, Beishan Tuogu is also very eye-catching, because he may be able to collect tribal taxes in the same way that Han officials collect taxes from Han people.

Ji Xi grabbed his beard and said hesitantly: "This matter needs to be reported to Beitai and Shan Yu to be confirmed, and I have no such right."

Beishan Tuogu held up his wine bag and respected Jixi again, saying: "In this case, there is Lao Jibide."
